Ya, well, I fibbed.
Here I am, 5 weeks post vacay & 1 week post 26th birthday....and still sporting those 8 lbs. The perk? I've maintained my initial weight loss. Those 17 lbs I've lost on WW are gone for good {along with the 7 I lost thanks to nursing....and, of course, the 38 pregnancy pounds from Emmy}, but I just don't know what is keeping me from shedding these last 8! Actually, that's another fib.
It's me. I'm the one keeping myself from it. Weight Watchers was amazing, they taught me so much. But I haven't been writing down what I've been eating or calculating points ::insert guilt:: I have, however, been able to keep up with eating sensibly...um, well most of the time. After 3 months of constant carbohydrate/fat/protein/fiber counting, "sugar free, fat free, skinny" just rolls right off the tongue. So I know it's not my diet thats holding me back. It's the darn exercise.
Goal dates (obviously) aren't doing anything. May 1st--bust. June 6th--bust. So what's it going to take?!? I'm thiiiis close to going down another jean size & good God, it's bathing suit season--shouldn't that be oomph enough? Jillian stink eyes me from the cover of the 30 day shred every time I walk over to the DVD cabinet {to get Lion King for Brookie...for the 8th time...in 2 days...}
So tell me...what keeps you motivated? What gives you the giddy up & go? Does it come in liquid form? Pass it this way, kthnx.
New follower here :) I'm right there with you - I'm struggling with motivation and I'm also become a pro at making excuses. I'm having such a hard time just focusing on my goal - I've been down this road before and know what the pitfalls are and need to basically save me from myself. I've recommitted to writing down all my food (I use MyFitnessPal but had success with WW three years ago) and am using photos of myself as motivation - basically, I don't like the way I look in them. Or the way my clothes fit. Basically, I don't have much to offer in way of motivation, but I'm cheering you on and will be seeing what other commenters say ... (and if you find it in liquid form you best be sharing with your fellow bloggers! :))
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following! =) My Fitness Pal sounds like a great idea, I've seen other use it. I need something like that in my face--a constant reminder to put down the Pop Tart & diet Pepsi for breakfast. Good luck to you! Us Momma's deserve to feel hawt!
